Hi Mark,
This is what I would change if possible. The TX antenna will re-radiate noise
it picks up. This is probably what is picked up by your RX antenna.
Do you have space to move the EWE away from the inv-L? Best of all is to put it
in a place where it has the inv-l in its back and a minimum of noise sources in
its forward facing direction.
I am using pennants located around 130 ft away from the TX antenna. I have more
noise picked up from the TX antenna (and the building) on my N/W pennant which
pattern somewhat includes the direction of the TX vertical.
Maybe you can make a test by reversing the antenna in its current position to
see if S/N improved when facing away from the inv-L.
